Thanks very much. I ended up buying one of those small dolly platforms from bunnings and I'm happy with the solution. I was wondering if it matters whether the scope is level? My yard has quite a slope. I've been out 3 times now in the yard. Yesterday I finally saw the rings of Saturn. But I was concerned I should have seen more detail. Even with the 9mm it was quite small and I don't think I could really make the Cassini division. Can you give me an idea of what Saturn looks like in yours? Thanks again?
